  • Publication number: 20230063968
    Abstract: A transparent antenna includes a transparent substrate; and a metal thin wire layer on an upper side of the transparent substrate. The transparent substrate has a thickness of 300 ?m or less. The metal thin wire layer has an opening ratio of 80% or more. When a metal conductor having a surface resistivity ? ?/sq is placed parallel to the transparent antenna 0.15 mm apart, an input reflection coefficient S11(?, f) and a radiation efficiency Eff(?, f) at a frequency f satisfy relations S11(0.1 ?/sq, f1 GHz)<?3 dB, S11(0.1 ?/sq, f2 GHz)<?3 dB, and |Eff(0.1 ?/sq, f1 GHz)?Eff(0.1 ?/sq, f2 GHz)|<25% at two frequencies f1 and f2 that are between 2 GHz and 50 GHz.

  • Publication number: 20200363571
    Abstract: A transparent substrate with an antiglare film, includes a transparent substrate having first and second main surfaces and an antiglare film formed on the first main surface. The antiglare film includes a low refractive index layer formed on the first main surface and a high refractive index layer formed in the low refractive index layer and having a refractive index different from that of the low refractive index layer. The low refractive index layer has nlow of 1.4 to 1.8. The high refractive index layer has nhigh at least 0.1 higher than the nlow. The high refractive index layer has an area ratio of its portion where a surface inclination to the first main surface is 0.5° or less of 15% or less. An average length RSm of elements of a roughness curve of an outermost surface on a first main surface side is 50 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20140261677
    Abstract: A laminated structure includes an anti-reflection structure having periodic concavo-convex parts on a surface thereof, and a transparent conductive layer formed on the concavo-convex parts. An arbitrary convex part, excluding a convex part located at an outermost side, and six convex parts having distances from the arbitrary convex part that amount to a smallest sum, are arranged to satisfy a condition requiring a connecting part to exist between the arbitrary convex part and each of four convex parts amongst the six convex parts, and a condition requiring a concave part to exist between the arbitrary convex part and each of two remaining convex parts amongst the six convex parts.
